Went over to the McRae Rally Challange in Knockhill in Scotland on Saturday. Was unreal to see such a collection of his cars.
Have a good few pics of everything and anything that was over there. Road going Subaru's there was poor enough I'd imagine there was more there yesterday.
The Series McRae cars ranged from mint to dog rough!

Anyway here is some pics.



Was a couple of dealers there, no price tag on this it was no. 276
